Formed in Uberlândia by guitarist Gabriel Tino and bassist Macarrão, Morterror plays straightforward death metal rooted in the genre's fundamentals while drawing on a wide range of metal influences. Their 2021 EP Sertão da Maldição is a four-song cycle built around local horror folklore — specifically the curse-laden deaths of a remote interior settlement called Sertão da Farinha Velha — with tracks like "Sangue Podre" and "Boi Fumaça" translating those dark regional legends into crushing riffs.

Morthure emerged from Curitiba's underground scene with a sound anchored in the crossover zone between thrash and death metal, carrying the weight of the band's earlier existence as Overlook.
